+ | [* black] The first item to consider when taking pictures is the orientation of the object that you are working on in the guide. |
+ | [* black] Our first image is not necessarily incorrect; the photo is well-lit, free of clutter, and the action is right in the center of the frame. But consider this: If your guide text said to cross the right hand over the left, which would be which? Are you referencing the model's right hand or the reader's right hand? |
+ | [* black] The second picture is taken from a side view. Now "left" and "right" are more obvious, but a reader may still be confused by the pictures. Also, this view may not be beneficial for showing all the necessary actions. |
[* black] The third photo shows a true first-person perspective, making the directions far easier for your audience to follow. This is what your readers will see when they look down to tie their own shoe (with a foot inside the shoe, of course). |
